Remember when it comes to food - everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial.

I'm in my 50's and have been struggling with my weight my whole life! I can remember being called names when I was 8 years old because of my weight. It's high time I did something about it that lasts more than a few days or a few months. With the help of SparkPeople and the support and motivation from you all, I know I can do it this time.

My Goals:
I plan on losing more than 100 pounds so I'm going to be here awhile. I'm going to attack it this time from all the angles, not just food, not just exercise, not just emotions. Stick with me and watch me get to my goal weight and stay there.

Personal Information:
I'm from Mississauga, Ontario, just west of Toronto. I was born in New York but came to Canada with my family when I was 11 years old. I'm a single mother of two almost grown sons and want to see my sons and grandchildren grow up.

Other Information:
Tigger is my hero. He's the original optimist. If it's not fun, why do it? It's fun or you need to make it fun.
